QUALITY AND QUANTITY COMBINE IN THIS VERY FINE COMPILATION!

This is indeed one of the most tasty group of Christmas songs that I have come across in my many years of listening. It leans toward sacred, but there are tunes such 'White Christmas' sung beautifully by Thomas Hampson and a Brass Choir plays a Medley of songs such as Sleigh ride, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas etc. In addition to the many choirs there are instrumental groups that not only accompany, but solo occasionally.

The Participants Include: Michael George Choirs of Coventry & Litchfield Cathedrals (three selections)-Choir of New College Oxford (seven selections)-Heinrich Schutz Choir(one selection)-Will Glahe's Children's Choir (one selection)- Brown University Chorus with Boston Camerata (one selection)-Concentus Weien (3 selections)-Monteverdi Choir(one selection)-Sumi Jo(three selections)-Dawn Upshaw & Chanticleer (seven selections)-Jose Carreras (one selection)-Placido Domingo (one selection)-Kiri Te Kanawa (one selection). Instrumental groups: London Brass-Boston Camerata-Bolshoi Symphony.

Some of the carols are: 'O come, come Emmanuel'-'Once in 'Royal David's City'-'The Shepherd's Farewell'-'Agnus Dei'-The Holly and the Ivy'-'Panis Angelicus'-'O Holy Night'-'Jauchzet, frohlocket'-'Hallelujah Chorus'. TAKE NOTE THAT THE SELECTIONS ARE LISTED UNDER THE cd PICTURE.

As you can see there is variety and it's all up-scale musical works rendered by first class musicians. How can you go wrong? And it's so good to get away from 'mall music'.

1.0 out of 5 stars Trouble Playing
Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2013

Neither of the two discs in this CD set will play on my laptop computer, which is how I mostly listen to music, but will play in my CD player. I presume this is due to some variance in the production of these CDs from the audio disc standard, or perhaps the use of a copy protection scheme. Exercise caution buying this title if you intend to play it on a computer system.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Hot Contender for my '10 Best Christmas Records" list
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2016

Exquisite collection. I played my first copy of this so often (both on my own and for my programs on WMNR Fine Arts Radio) that I wore it out. It may not be literally the "... 40 Most Beautiful Christmas Classics" , but it's definitely a contender. Don't know that I'd put this at the top of the "If you're only going to have one Christmas CD, choose this..." list but I'd definitely put it in the top ten.

2.0 out of 5 stars Some of the Ugliest Renditions Of Songs I Have Ever Heard
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2013
Verified Purchase
I should clarify; these songs aren't necessarily ugly as they are repetitively, mind-grating boring. The same sound over and over until you want to pick up a hammer and bash your ears in. Man, I used to enjoy Christmas music, any time of the year. By "Classic" they don't mean a classic song, they mean classic orchestration. I've heard the CIA are forbidden to use that in interrogations unless water-boarding has failed. This collection of classic holiday songs will certainly make anyone crack...

This may be one of the best CD of my Christmas Carols CDs collection. The vocals & orchestra are well balance, the voices are clear & strong, some of the songs are not English, this is good as it gives us a chance to hear carols in other languages ! You won't go wrong by buying it !
